Civil registration of births, deaths and marriages did not start in NSW until 1856 so before that you are relying on finding a church record of baptism, marriage or burial.  Not all children were baptised and not all church records have survived or have been made available to the Registry for indexing.

Hi
Looking at his parents gravestone
Mary Margaret Hughes nee Gleeson born 1830 Nenagh, County Tipperary, Ireland
died 11.10.1866.
Richard Hughes born 1800 England died 6.11.1874
Elder brother Clifford born 1841.

Given there is a Richard Hughes convict transported 1830 on the Cumberland from Kent I'd go for this.


Richard seems to have married Charlotte Botten 2.7.1826 Frinsted.
Children - Anne 3.6.1827 Frinsted  and Clifford 14.6.1829 at Lenham.

The children are with Thomas Hughs and Anne nee Clifford married 4.8.1805 Maidstone on the 1841 census at Frinsted.
I'm guessing Richard was their son from before their marriage in 1805.

The parish records for Nenagh Couthy Tipperrary start 1831  but it's a place to start.

If Mary Margaret Gleeson (mother) born 1830 and Alfred Hughes born 1843,(as you state) that seems to be incorrect and makes her 30 years younger than husband Richard and only 13 when she had Alfred!

Hi
Yes sorry about that .I went with the transcription on Find a grave
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/150138326/mary-margaret-hughes

However they are all on the same gravestone and her age can't be right because son Clifford is given as born 1839 .Trouble is ,the first digit of her age at death is so worn it's difficult to tell.
She *6 years old in 1866.
So given son Clifford born 1839 her year of birth has to be 1820,1810 ,1800.

Looking at another data set Sydney, Australia, Cemetery Headstone Transcriptions, 1837-2003 on Ancestry it says 56.
Clifford Thomas  Henry was baptised 26 Dec 1841 birth date May 25th Liverpool St Luke Sydney so that doesn't quite match up either. (Clifford's entrance to Darlinghurst jail in July 1860 also says age 20 so born 1840).

Not related, just a rootschatter, who tries to help.

The marriage certificate for Deborah Hayes is on ancestry.

Her parents Daniel Hayes and Deborah Crow married in Ireland as the first 2 children are born there.
